This is a wrong assumption. We have had several PV splits that stay on the other side of the globe. This is always a worry when dealing with the PV.

I absolutely agree. Perfect weather currently. Cold nights and average daytime highs.

The 18z GFS is a bit juicier this run for some snow especially across the southern mountains. Still a ways out though but so far so good.

What site do you use for the FV3?

Also I would take note that this pattern is not a bad one to be in currently. I have seen it a lot warmer than this and the 7 day forecast looks really good actually. We are tracking some snow and temps look to be very seasonal especially going into the weekend. So really all in all not bad at all. I have enjoyed the warm up a bit and its nice to see the sun shining.

This morning's GFS continues to advertise a strong chance of snow across the mountains towards the end of the week. This flow is going to be a bit different though. With the low so deep and south of us the cold aid actually will wrap around from the SW... This means the southern mountains will change to snow before anyone else. We will eventually get a NW flow but that will not happen until the Low pulls east of us. A pretty neat setup really. I think this is mostly confined to the boarder counties but it is still early.

Interesting. No wind here at all. A pretty cold morning also with a current temp of 28 degrees.

Yeah it looks like we will see a rain to snow situation at the end of the week especially across the higher elevations. We dont have a strong cold source to pull from so things will be from top to bottom across the mountains.

Looks like this weekend is just going to be nasty all the way around. A cold rain with some wind and some flooding. Even here they are calling for a bit of rain/snow Saturday night into Sunday.

Great posts on the solar man. I think you and someone else had mentioned the solar output associated with the weather. I think there is more to that than a lot of people realize.

Yep woke me up!

Lol you need to take a picture of that. You ain't kidding about this being like cement. It's like one huge block of ice.

This weekend system looks like a lot of rain with maybe some very high elevation snow, probably above 5000 feet. This system just have no cold source. Then we will have a trough in the NE that looks to keep us seasonal for a bit.

Yeah I have had some friends who may not get power back on until Thursday afternoon at best because of the downed trees and extensive powerline damage.

You are the man jburns! I do like that a lot. Thank you.

Mountain crew great job with this storm and the storm obs. It was a great storm to come back to and it was great to share with all of you. We have a unique mountain community and I am proud to be apart of it! Ever since I started the mountain thread I would have never imagined it growing to the likes it is currently. Keep up the great work gang!

Could you post the weeklies?

Here is a photo looking down Mainstreet in Waynesville. This photo credit is to Carolina photo art.

Nice looking family sir!

I didn't take this picture but my Aunt did early yesterday morning. Thought it was a beautiful pic of the barn and landscape.

Some Monday morning photos.

Nothing like that around here that I can think of. You just have to get a cheap hotel or something.

Still snowing with an additional 2.5 inches overnight. Bringing total storm accumulations to 15 inches. Not bad for the first of December.

Its snowing again at a decent clip. Have picked up another half inch so far.

Yeah that was one of those long duration snows that stuck around because it got cold after the storm. Lol we where only suppose to get like 1 inch from that storm... The Biltmore is beautiful this time of the year with all the lights especially in the snow.
